The
Hidden
Threat:
How
Fake
Identities
used
by
Remote
Employees
Put
Your
Business
at
Risk—and
How
to
Defend
Against
This
Based
on
our
experience
in
recent
client
matters,
we
have
seen
an
escalating
threat
posed
by
the
Democratic
People’s
Republic
of
Korea
(DPRK)
information
technology
(IT)
workers
engaging
in
sophisticated
schemes
to
evade
US
and
UN
sanctions,
steal
intellectual
property
from
US
companies,
and/or
inject
ransomware
into
company
IT
environments,
in
support
of
enhancing
North
Korea’s
illicit
weapons
program.
